How long has it been since Obama promised to shut down the torture chamber, Gitmo?
You keep asking this question and I think you're playing but given your latest post, I think you just don't know the facts.
Here is the problem, Bill. And if you ask the question again, I will ignore you.
"Obama has missed his self-imposed January 2010 deadline for shutting down the camp,<b. partly because Congress blocked funding for a plan to move captives to a prison in the United States.
The U.S. government has also had difficulty persuading its allies to take in some of the detainees.
Before Naji's involuntarily return, 10 Algerians had agreed to go back, Human Rights Watch said.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, speaking of the 10 repatriated to Algeria, said, "None, in our view, has appeared to be mistreated."
Andrea Prasow, Human Rights Watch's senior counterterrorism counsel, said: "The U.S. needs to consider the individual circumstances of each detainee before repatriation.
"Someone who would rather remain at Guantanamo than go home should at least be given the chance to explain why in a proper legal setting."
